About us

Design great products customers love.

Design teams that design great products.

Design resilient organizations that support happy teams that design great products.

From the UX Designer to the CEO, it takes an entire organization to execute LeanUX successfully. At LeanUX NYC, the world’s leading minds on Lean will teach you how organizations are incorporating Lean Systems, Agile, Design Thinking, and DevOps to deliver real value for their customers and drive top-line growth.

This five-day epic conference will advance your knowledge and skills on design, customer discovery, product/market fit, decision-making, and process design, among others. You’ll learn from engaging talks, absorb principles to guide teams, and participate in hands-on sessions to build lasting relationships with people that are crazy passionate about making better stuff, and making stuff better.

You’ll get expert insight into some of the ways Lean Thinking, Complexity, Design Thinking and DevOps practices are being combined by people already doing it — the real pros, the upper echelon, the ones driving the iterative discovery and development of new products for both startups and enterprises.
